Who was in the 3rd coffin during 3rd and Orochi fight?

I have a question,

During the fight between the 3rd and Orochimaru, who was in the 3rd coffin? I always thought it was the 4th Hokage but how if he is already sealed in the death god? I remember the 3rd saying he has to stop the last coffin no matter what? I thought it would be scarier having the 1st back to fight...

Re: Who was in the 3rd coffin during 3rd and Orochi fight?

Minato, but because Orochimaru did not know the secrets behind the DeathReaperSeal jutsu he did not know that Minato was sealed inside my belly.
Hence the reason why Kabuto can't summon the previous hokages now.

It was Minato, as far as I remember Kabuto also told it why Orochimaru could not bring up the 3rth coffin.
And why would Orochimaru summon someone else besides the hokages if he is fight against the 3rth hokage.
In the anime the 3rth confirmed it to I think.

And Orochimaru can bring caskets up as far as I know, but it won't mean shit untill they are opened.
It no where states that the person they bring up come exactly with the casket. I think the person that is in the casket comes after the caskets with the death persons are up.

Re: Who was in the 3rd coffin during 3rd and Orochi fight?

None of the above can be considered proof that it was Minato. We saw how a summoning works: you need a body and a DNA. The summoning happens right in front of you and doesn't come out of the ground in a coffin. The coffin is just a place where the summoner is keeping the summonings after they have been summoned. What Orochimaru did was fail to bring the 3rd coffin up, but that person was already an Edo Tensei. Kabuto knows that Orochimaru failed to bring the 4th back because Orochimaru tried to summon him before the battle, while Kabuto was there. Makes no sense for Kabuto to be hidden in the bushes watching the Oro vs Hiruzen fight.

That's was my guess, yes. Either Madara or Izuna, seeing how Orochimaru summoned shinobi from that particular era. Hashirama and Tobirama were about the same age as the Uchiha bros and it would make sense.
